About Olive Yoga

Elizabeth started her journey with yoga in 1996 when she learned how to meditate. Her physical practice began in 1998 in the Kundalini lineage of yoga. After a serious back injury she tried Bikram yoga and Hatha. However, over the past 22 years she has explored and practiced a wide variety of styles. Based on her intensive teacher training she now enjoys a blend of Iyengar and Ashtanga yoga based on alignment and breath. She received her teaching certification from the Yoga Alliance Approved 200-hour certification at YogaWorks Studios in Los Angeles, California. She has continued her trainings around the world at various retreats, workshops and festivals.

Her unique teachings are based on an intuitive feeling of the energy of the group or individual and guided by The Eight Limb Path. She starts with pranayama (breath) and an intention to connect awareness to our bodies. She weaves philosophy delicately throughout the session to integrate elements of the eight limb path. She gives verbal and physical adjustments when needed and demonstrate poses for clarity but does not stay on her mat. She specializes in being a true teacher by modifying a persons practice if necessary and offers challenges. The sequencing of the asanas contributes to a moving meditation to help create stillness of the mind, while building strength and stretching the limits of your body in a harmonious approach. A closing meditation may include flute or some of the philosophy of the “Eight Limb Path” to connect to the light within.

Elizabeth has enjoyed attending Bhakti, Shakti and Sat Nam festivals in Joshua Tree as well as hosting, teaching and taking various workshops and retreats around the world. Her love for yoga runs deep! Her teachings are guided by the Divine and the energy and experience of the class. Her goal is to teach to the level of the student, modify when necessary and help to guide the student to the next level. She has also attended the first Yoga Alliance “The Business of Yoga” conference in Washington, DC in August of 2013 where she connected with yogis from all over the country! This was the catlyst that pushed Elizabeth to creating the business plan and opening her own studio in 2015. Elizabeth stays a student for life to be a better teacher.

Please do not bring your cell phones into the asana room or wear shoes in the yoga room.

Thank you.

Join Elizabeth Olive and her amazing teachers at Olive Yoga! Climb the stairs to attain Samadhi, which means BLISS and is the final limb of the Eight Limb Path.

Elizabeth Olive is a fabulous guide and yoga teacher. She led our team of employees in a guided meditation with breath work that created a sense of peace and serenity that allowed all of us to fight the afternoon lull. We were all more productive and found it easier to finish out our day. We recommend Elizabeth to any Corporate Yoga Program - for meditation to reduce stress, still the mind and become more present. Elizabeth is also offered my wife and her friends an amazing yoga class outdoors that they loved. Her knowledge and experience allow her to teach in any setting to any type of person. She is also great with our three children that love her kids yoga.

I LOVE this yoga studio in downtown LB. I really like the vibe of the place and the instructors.... no judgement, I'm very comfortable there 🙂
If you haven't had a class with Elizabeth, you are misssing out, she's fantastic! She gives "modified" poses so all levels are welcome and encouraged.
I'm feeling much stronger since starting my yoga path! Oh, and Restorative yoga is so nice and should not be overlooked.... I call it "sleepy yoga" and it helps me to relax and stretch.... I always have the best night sleep after!

Olive Yoga is best yoga studio I have found since moving to Southern California. The instructors, space, and other students are very welcoming. The instructors have the perfect mix of the physical & spiritual components of yoga. You'll sweat, but also get your meditation/ spiritual time. This is not the kind of studio where you walk in and people are doing handstands before the class even starts. Elizabeth (owner) is fantastic! She is encouraging, challenging, and funny. She provides precise instructions and offers different options for every level of student in the class. You will not only be told how to get into the pose, but what it called in English and Sanskrit. (That has not been my experience at other studios.)You will also receive physical adjustments and tips on how to get the most out of the pose once you are in it. All the instructors are terrific, but Elizabeth, Eve, Johnathan, and James deserve special acknowledgement. They also offer a number of fantastic workshops to get deeper instruction & understanding, e.g. Heathy Back, kundalini, sound bath, and yoga for runners, are just a few. Also, there is free parking in the garage on 3rd. No need to drive around looking for a meter. I would give Elizabeth & Olive Yoga more stars if possible, it's that good. Try it! Your mind and body will thank you & serve you better!

This place has great energy. I came through Long Beach on business and got to take Core Flow & Yin Fusion and man, I have never been so bummed to have to leave a studio. The owner is super rad, friendly & the classes bring you right on that sweet, challenging edge and leave you glowing for the rest of the day. Full service with tea, water, massage services, & even showers! I would move from Brooklyn to Long Beach just to keep taking classes at Olive Yoga.

An amazing environment with classes that will challenge the individual and allow you to grow during each and every practice. I felt like I was at home every time I walked up those beautifully painted stairs! Elizabeth puts her whole heart into everything she does and is an inspiring passionate teacher. James on Sunday mornings is fantastic, caters to your body and your strengths and leads a stellar Prana Flow. Olive Yoga is one of my favorite things about Long Beach!

I have been here a few times after buying the Groupon deal. The location and setup is wonderful, and the teachers are terrific. Elizabeth has a great demeanor and makes me feel comfortable from the moment I walk in. The classes are tough, with a good bit of inspiration.
This is a good place and I think my new favorite in the LBC.

We rented the beautiful space at Olive Yoga to hold a Femme! class with live drumming. The class was filmed for a demo reel and we couldn't have asked for a more photogenic space with lots of natural light. The staff was gracious, accommodating and professional. Very grateful we found this clean, vibrant, beautiful space for the sacred movement we were doing. I highly recommend it!

I was in Long Beach for the weekend for work and I was lucky enough to have some time to go to a yoga class at Olive Yoga. The studio has a very homey and cozy vibe. The practice space is beautiful; there are showers, mats and towels. My instructor was Elizabeth and she was fantastic. She was personable and funny and I really enjoyed her class. It was Vinyasa style and definitely a work out, but she was excellent about offering modifications as well. If I lived in Long Beach I'd go all the time!

This yoga studio is a downtown gem resting above Starbucks. And I love that you can smell the coffee walking up hardwood stairs to this beautiful studio, especially on a Sunday morning. Ms Olive is a vibrant spirit and am so glad I found this zen space and met the woman who rides the cool chopper I've seen around town with the Om stenciling. I went to a Forest yoga workshop that worked wonders on me- saved me quite a few trips to the chiropractor actually. Will definitely come back now that I know where it is!

I've been practicing at Olive Yoga for the past few months and have really grown to love the new studio. It's is night and day from the previous business at the same location. The studio has amazing energy and is equipped with blocks, blankets, straps and even eye pillows! You will find everything you need here to grow your practice safely. James, Elizabeth, Jasmine, Tami and Drew are all great teachers! The classes are diverse and incorporate many different styles of yoga. Olive Yoga is welcoming to all levels of experience.

Awesome new yoga studio in dtlb. I started out with a groupon during the soft opening and have now moved on to a monthly membership. Great vibe and the classes are challenging. Elizabeth is very welcoming and I really like her classes. The other instructors are also good. Definitely worth checking out.
Parking- there is a lot nearby with 2 hours free.
Noise- it's in downtown so be ready for sirens and the usual noise. It honestly does not bother me. Usually there is music playing so drowns it out.
Location- on top of Starbucks on pine

Olive Yoga is my lunchtime yoga haven. Elizabeth is such a real and genuine person--no fake happy bunny fluffy yoga bs that sometimes the yoga world can revolve around. This is refreshing to me. Her classes are physically challenging if you want that, but she also always encourages us in class to bow our egos and take a child's pose if we need one. This is incredibly helpful to me because I tend to be a self task master, and I was recently diagnosed with some health issues in which I am being told to not exercise as hard. My tendency in life has always been to push through and work hard, but hearing Elizabeth say things like "You can ramp it up by doing (insert challenging yoga pose or series here)....Or NOT" reminds me to accept the OR NOT aspect and chill out like I am supposed to. She somehow makes this feel totally acceptable--I know of course that it is acceptable but the reminder is beautiful. What is also particularly important to me is that Elizabeth's classes can also be very spiritual. She talks a lot about the mind soul body connection, and often ends class with gong baths, meditations, and the like. 5 stars fa sho!!
